The Lynchburg Hillcats Jogly Garcia was awarded the Carolina League Pitcher of the Month for April.
Garcia posted a 1-0 record, with a 2.16 ERA. He also collected 34 strikeouts in just under 17 innings. Across the whole month, he only allowed four runs on seven hits.
His strongest outing came while on the road, with the Hillcats taking on the Salem Red Sox. Garcia threw four innings of no-hit, scoreless relief, propelling Lynchburg to the 4-1 victory.
His ERA was comfortably under one heading into his last start of the month against Fayetteville on the 29th. Regardless, he struck out the first five batters he faced that night, before being roughed up in the third inning.
Garcia, a Venezuelan native, is in his first full season with Lynchburg. He spent a little over a month in the Hill City in 2024, struggling to an 0-2 record with an ERA over eight.
For the month of April, Garcia is the lone representative from the Cleveland Guardians organization to win a monthly award.
